<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Drools supports a simulated clock (unified for
rules and processes), so this should allow you to build a simulator. The
code that Mark is referring to is just something built on top that allows you to
define a simulation as a sequence of commands that are sent to the session at
specific time points etc. You could try to reuse this as is if it would be
useful in your case, or simply try to do something similar. In any case,
there shouldn't be any technical difficulties that should prevent you from doing
something like you described I think (just not all out-of-the-box).</FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>I have something prototyped and it works, but I need to
